  • Bougainville - I come from Kunua just a few kilometres from Torokina on the West Coast of Bougainville. Since 1960s our people have experienced alot of violent earthquake shakings and volcanic eruptions. I remember a huge earthquake and a tsunami that destroyed many lives and properties back in 1972 when I was only 4 years old. One cannot believe such stories until he/she lives in this part of the world.
  • Craig, CO - Rumbling subsurface underneath where I was sitting on the couch. Any seismic recordings for this area? The locals say it's right on a fault line.
  • Camby, IN 46113 - Light tremble that lasted around 30 seconds this morning (11-20-12) between 0100 and 0230.
  • Bluffton indiana - My wife and I laid down around 10:20 pm on the 19 of Nov 2012 and heard a low rumble noise then the bed vibrated along with the rumble. Last 2 months we have been hearing strange sounds rumbles shrieks that's coming from the ground. Nothing local reported!!
  • Crossville, IL - Spent a few years in Japan in the Military and know what these little quakes feel like... May have been an aftershock of the bigger ones earlier. Only lasted maybe 2 seconds but shook a few pictures off the wall. Could hear it coming building to building.
  • St. Wendel, IN - Earthquake felt around 5:25 p.m. Short duration - mild shaking
